Apache experts?

I would like to create password restricted access to an apache hosted site, using the modules of apache. However, it is an apache on Win32. Therefore it wont be able to create .hta* files, as Windows files must have a file name, then dot extension.

Any ideas as to how to get around it?
 
PHP can't access the HTTP_POST variables when run under Windows.

This is the biggest limitation of PHP on the Windows platform.

Well, I have no backgroud with a Windows web server (unless its only for HTML code). There are simply waaaay too many advantages in the NIX servers...

Besides, PHP is not really a good solution for security (on this topic).

If its a NT box, why not password protect your html directory....Or use basic javascript as your means for entry (yeah... I know but...). In this case, there are scripts within the HTML or (dot)JS files that can be placed in sub-dir's...

Anyway, I hope this is not going to be a heavy site (read: bandwidth). The though that it is scares me (well, not really) 🙂
